Ellen DeGeneres new judge! I love her. What do you Idol Addicts think? She didn't do such a good job on "So You Think You Can Dance" from what I read, but I love her and I think she will bring a lot of humor to the show. Thoughts?

Casey James reminds me exactly of Bucky Covington. And that little 16 year old boy reminds me of David Archuleta. The judges go for the same type time after time.
Yes, exactly. Although, I think the 16 yr. old has a purer voice than Archuleta. I think Siobhan will will be another kelly Clarkson, although, I am not sure she may be ready for it. She is a quirky little thing with her 80's outifits during trials. Garcia is going to be the Hispanic, not so sexy version of David Cook, I suspect.

My prediction for final two........Siobhan Magnus and Andrew Garcia. I think Aaron Kelley and Lee DeWyze will be dark horses possibly and give the above two a run. Casey James-- cute, girls will pick him, but he is not the best. Just my 02. Still early, haven't seen the guys yet, but I am looking forward to hearing the ones I said above. May change my mind afterward. It will be fun to watch Kara croon over Casey.
Kinda sorta agree Mangy. I think you are right on about Aaron and Lee. But I must say that I thought Casey WAS the best tonight. I can't help it. Liked the song, liked his voice, liked the way he looked..albeit maybe not as much as Kara.

Yep, I was very surprised by Casey, very good....but, I liked Lee the best. Oh my, you could see the sweat and Kara flushing and gushing over Casey. She couldn't even speak without stuttering. This should be fun to watch.

BTW- I missed the show tonight. Who went home?

I liked Lee too. He seems like a real down to earth kinda guy. I thought his song choice was good too. BTW, Kara's husband was in the audience last night
It's all shtick of course, but entertaining none the less. The boys that went home were Tyler and Joe. Girls were Janelle and Ashley.

Tonight, I loved Lee. He had that David Cook thing goin' on. Casey was better last week. I think I just want to adopt mullet boy--he's so precious. Aaron too. The others--eh.

The guy with the pencil thin mustache is at best mediocre. Every time he sings it's like I'm in the elevator to hell.
Tim will go far just based on the teeny bopper vote, but if his vocals don't improve he's toast.

Agreed. I didn't realize until last night that Tim had the teeny bopper support...he seemed so shocked last week when he was safe. I was too.
Yeah, pencil thin mustache man is like fingernails on blackboard.

Can I just go on record and say that I think Crystal will win the whole shebang.

Can I just go on record and say that I think Crystal will win the whole shebang.
Hubby and I both agreed tonight that they should just give her the win and call it a day right now. I love her.
However, there is a part of me that doesn't want her to win the whole thing. I want her to be able to make her own music and not have to be part of the "American Idol Machine". If she does win, I hope that she will have a BIG say in what type of record she makes.
It is going to be a LOOONNNNGGGG season!

I love her too and you're right.

The men.....hmmmm. Big Mike didn't exactly bring me to tears, but he did a good job. Loved Casey, don't care what the judges said. Liked Aaron and I still can't help but like Alex, God luv him. He won't win, but he's just so darned cute.
I forgot to say that I really did like Siobhan last night too.

Is anyone else completely over American Idol this year? It's basically just a top karaoke contest now.

Since this season is pretty boring (other than that tongue comment by Ryan) I'll leave y'all with this:
Some more shirtless TUrban!

I know! WHEN did that happen?
I just noticed for the first time last night TUrban had a pretty smokin' bod. Wow. Did they just cover it up before or am I just really old and not very perceptive? Nevermind...don't answer that.
